Dave Wolinski's two-run single in the seventh gave the Bears some breathing room.

James Diddell (1-0) worked the first five innings allowing five hits and five unearned runs while walking three and striking out four to get the win. Junior Will Shuttleworth, making his collegiate debut went an inning and allowed a hit and an unearned run while walking one and striking out two.
